Oh dear. (It's a misspelled word one)

Instinks. Bloody instinks. I can't stop giggling.

Yes I know people have dyslexia etc, but surely autocorrect should have helped her out here?

Instinks

That’s splendid! Goes right along with Chester Draws and Per Say

Autocorrect doesn't help you if you have no clue how to spell the world doesn't bring up the option.

But congratulations on being smug and rude. I hope your sniggering at others gives you a nice sense of superiority for the rest of the day

There are times when being The Spelling Police is an awful trait in any human being.

And then there are moments like that....

As long as the typist remains anonymous I am sure we will all snigger with you!

Oh! Cross posted with the proof I am wrong!

Colleague once received an email in which the author apologised for the 'incontinence'. We all had a really good laugh at that one.

That’s bloody funny. On the basis the culprit was not named I think it’s fine to laugh

Love it. Worst one for me is when people put defiantly instead of definitely 😭 another good one is exma instead of eczema 😂

My old boss (very intelligent, earned a fortune) used to refer to things being a “damp squid”. That caused much mirth in the office

It could be worse. I once watched the news where someone explained how he had managed to avert a crash (all credit to him) and his words have stayed with me to this day.

"I just reacted instinctively", he beamed, "as I am trained to do".

There's someone over on the Property/DIY thread asking about their chimbley and being really aggressive with anyone trying to correct them. Giving me a giggle this morning

No auto correct doesn't always help. Would people laugh at someone who couldn't read, because they had been "overlooked" at school, or had a learning difficulty holding them back? No, probably not.

Love it, one of my faves was "she put him on a pedal stool" 😁

Would people laugh at someone who couldn't read, because they had been "overlooked" at school, or had a learning difficulty holding them back? No, probably not. I think you are over estimating the basic human condition there. Pratfalls of all kinds are the oldest form of comedy. Social media offers this as a new form.

I can't see the problem. The whole message is gibberish.

I have a son with dyslexia. Definitely something he would write. Definitely something I would giggle at (when he wasn’t there else he’d be quite hurt!)

Spelling and grammar are funny, and it is ok to laugh at incorrectly spelt words when the spelling ends up being humorous. So long as there’s no malice in it, it shouldn’t be an issue. We’ve all made daft mistakes

'Rest bite' is one that always gets me...

But would he write ‘Blissfully love ur work!x’ @Bog? That’s the sinister bit to me...

My DD had a report from her nursery this week praising her for how she handled an "auto cation"

@Horsefeather no, he does know the difference between words thankfully. As far as I know (and I could be extremely wrong so please don’t take my word at it!) dyslexia doesn’t prevent you from knowing what word to use, it just prevents you from forming it correctly. He would write “Hosspitil” for “hospital” etc, not “blissfully” for what I assume is meant to be “beautiful”

I knew it wouldn't be long before I got told off

Dappled what?! Auto cation? Altercation?

"I just reacted instinctively", he beamed, "as I am trained to do".

When the BBC were reporting on the Glasgow Airport terrorist attack, they had a live interview with someone near the scene - described by the on-screen graphic as 'an eyewitness'. Literally the first thing he said was, "Well, I didn't actually see anything..."

I had a text from the hairdressers with an "impotent" message about hygiene in the salon!

Impotent

I was in a presentation about pensions once and one of the slides said something about penison

That certainly woke everyone up
